OpenAI and Meta Platforms have held separate discussions with Reliance Industries over potential partnerships to expand their artificial intelligence offerings in the country, technology news website The Information reported on Saturday.
A possibility being discussed involved a relationship between Reliance Jio and OpenAI to distribute ChatGPT, according to The Information.
Reliance has discussed selling OpenAI's models to its enterprise customers through an application programming interface (API), The Information report added, saying that the Mukesh Ambani-led conglomerate also discussed hosting and running OpenAI models locally, so the data of local customers can be kept within India.
In particular, Reliance has discussed running the Meta and OpenAI models in a three-gigawatt data centre that the company is planning to build, which it has said is the largest data centre in the world, located in Jamnagar, Gujarat.
Meta declined to comment to the Reuters news agency on The Information report. OpenAI and Reliance did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the report.
